5.56 or 223 is a solid coyote or groundhog round and has been popular for 30+ years now. With the properly set up AR15, they can reach out 500m no problem
Either 5.56 or 12GA are great home defense rounds.
Yep I know about hogs (some other comment somewhere I mentioned them) and the biggest stopping of 5.56 for hunting is usually a legal ban on them rather than practical with the right ammo. Honestly might be for the best because otherwise some Bubba with non-hollowpoint ammo and a crooked scope would be out there maiming deer.
I mean current laws now don’t stop some hillbilly from maiming a deer with buckshot because of “headshots one drop herrr” or a low charged 38 caliber muzzleloader.
I hope they open up the laws more. My state allows all straight walled rounds 350 legend-50 cal, but no bottleneck for deer. You’re telling me a 45-70 or 50-110 is safer to use than my 22-250? Just fudd brained people making laws

I completely spaced on the use against coyotes. AR-15s seem about ideal for that.
Hogs is another common critter.
With the right hollow point and good shot placement, I don’t see it having a problem taking down a white tail
I’ve always hunted hogs with a 30-30 because hogs are pretty agressive and will attack.
Either will work. Here in Ohio, our tiny population of hogs are small fries compared to out west
